No. 2:10-cv-02190-MCA-MAH (D.N.J.)
Welcome to the Marchese v. Cablevision Systems Corp. Settlement Website
UPDATE (1/17/17): Settlement Benefits to eligible Current and Former Subscribers will be disbursed beginning in February, 2017. If additional information was requested as part of your claim review process, Settlement Benefits may begin later as any new information you submit is processed.
UPDATE (9/12/16): On September 12, 2016, the Court held a public Final Fairness Hearing in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Following this hearing, the Court entered an order for final approval of the Settlement. The Court also approved Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and expenses. Distributing benefits will take time. Please be patient. Please continue to visit this Settlement website for updates.
There is a Settlement in a class action lawsuit against Cablevision claiming that certain business practices resulted in subscribers paying higher prices for Cablevision’s cable TV set-top boxes.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Settlement Class includes all persons in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York who subscribed to Cablevision’s video services and paid a monthly fee to Cablevision to lease a Set-Top Box at any time from April 30, 2004 to March 9, 2016.
The Settlement offers credits for services (ranging between $50-$140 in value) or a one-time bill credit (ranging between $20-$40) to Cablevision’s Current Subscribers. Former Subscribers can get a one-time cash payment (ranging between $20-$40) and other benefits.
Your legal rights are affected even if you do not act. Please read carefully. The rights and options below — and the deadlines to exercise them— are explained in further detail in the Notice.
The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. If it does, and after any appeals are resolved, benefits will be distributed consistent with the Settlement. Please be patient.
